Chapter 327: Opportunity

In the time that followed, the Snow Beasts launched several more attacks. However, unfortunately, all of them ended in failure.

The Snow Beasts suffered heavy losses, with many Snow Beast lords meeting a grim demise. It can be said that the entire Dawn City had long become an impenetrable fortress!

There were thousands of various types of artillery, thousands of laser cannons, countless rocket launchers, and heavy machine guns. In addition to that, there were a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, and rocket cars. The firepower was overwhelming.

Most importantly, they had no shortage of ammunition. It seemed endless, like a bottomless pit. The Snow Beasts had no way to deal with Dawn City. Instead, they unknowingly paid a heavy price themselves.

To be honest, if these survivors were outside the city, they wouldn’t last half a day before being slaughtered by the Snow Beasts. But with the city as their stronghold, they could hold out for countless days. The Snow Beasts had no way to break through.

After more than ten days and the loss of thousands of Snow Beasts’ lives, the Snow Beasts finally ceased their siege. A Snow Beast of normal human size arrived at a hilltop, looking at Dawn City in the distance, deep in thought.

This Snow Beast was small, and if you didn’t look closely, you might mistake it for a Snow Beast cub. However, in reality, this petite Snow Beast was not a cub. Its entire body was covered in fur, occasionally radiating a bright light, exuding an immense aura of power.

When the Snow Beasts and Snow Beast lords saw it, they couldn’t help but kneel before it. These Snow Beast lords and common Snow Beasts seemed to both fear and worship it.

It was the Snow Beast King!

The reason it appeared so small was not because it was genuinely tiny. It was because this was its second form. Its first form was its battle form. As it gazed at Dawn City from afar, a trace of impatience and anger flickered in its eyes.

The Snow Beast King was very intelligent, much smarter than most humans. These recent failures had pushed it to the brink of madness.

Because of its temper, it devoured more than ten Snow Beast lords in one go. That’s why those Snow Beast lords are so terrified now.

Many times, it wanted to personally break through Dawn City. However, reason told it not to do so because there seemed to be a formidable adversary within the city. Moreover, the adversary had been monitoring it all along.

They were both restraining each other and dared not easily make a move. This human is incredibly powerful!

This was the thought in the Snow Beast King’s mind. It had never encountered such a powerful human before and couldn’t fathom why humans could be so powerful.

As it gazed at Dawn City, a young figure appeared on the city wall. The moment this figure appeared, it immediately captured the full attention of the Snow Beast King. In an instant, it sensed the powerful threat emanating from the figure, which made it uneasy.

In the Snow Beast King’s eyes, there was even a brief moment of panic and tension. However, it soon regained its usual cold indifference.

In the end, the Snow Beast King reluctantly let out a resounding roar into the sky. Roar! The sound, with its penetrating effect, spread far and wide.

The remaining seven thousand plus Snow Beasts gathered outside Dawn City, upon hearing the sound, immediately erupted into unavoidable chaos. Soon, large groups of Snow Beasts began to retreat, gradually moving away from Dawn City.

The Snow Beast tide that had lasted for ten days was finally receding. Soon, the survivors of Dawn City also noticed this. Suddenly, everyone began to celebrate, more excited than on any other occasion.

"Look, the Snow Beasts are retreating!"

"Haha, they finally gave up, it hasn’t been easy these days!"

"That’s right, I couldn’t eat or sleep well these past days, fearing that the Snow Beasts might cause some trouble! Now things have finally improved, and I can finally get a good night’s sleep!"

"Haha, it’s been quite a journey!"

"Great! These beasts finally realize the power of our Dawn City and are willing to retreat! Hehe, compared to us, they’ve suffered quite a lot! They’re really foolish, causing trouble with the wrong people. Dealing with our Dawn City, what a bunch of idiots!"

It is said that the Snow Beasts outside are controlled by the Snow Beast King. This Snow Beast King is too weak, it feels useless. It hasn’t even shown itself; I don’t know what to say.

"Hehe, the Snow Beast King is useless? You’re completely wrong about that!"

"I can assure you, if it weren’t for the Lord of the city restraining the Snow Beast King, the Snow Beast King would definitely have acted during the siege. At that time, our Dawn City would have been breached for sure!"

"That’s right, that’s the Snow Beast King. Once it acts, no one can stop it, and we would be easily killed. Only our Lord can make the Snow Beast King wary and hesitate to act!"

But everyone shouldn’t relax too much.

"We need to be on guard for any tricks from the Snow Beasts. The Snow Beast King is highly intelligent, and we fear it may have something up its sleeve."

Indeed, although this possibility is very small, staying vigilant and taking precautions is never wrong.

The crowd discussed eagerly. For all the people of Dawn City, today is a day of great joy, worth celebrating!

Just as everyone was rejoicing immensely, Waldo stood on the city wall, tightly furrowing his brows. Earlier, it was he who had locked eyes with the Snow Beast King in the distance.

This was also his first time seeing the Snow Beast King. Although he had only glimpsed at it from a distance, he could feel the immense pressure emanating from the Snow Beast King.

This was a terrifying opponent. The reputation of the Snow Beast King was well-deserved!

"The turning point of my breakthrough wasn’t the other Snow Beasts, but the Snow Beast King?" Waldo thought to himself.

In fact, just a moment ago, Waldo, upon thinking of this, almost wanted to take action against the Snow Beast King. However, the oppressive feeling from the Snow Beast King dispelled that crazy thought.

"No rush, there will be an opportunity."

Now, his strength had undergone a significant improvement, and the progress was earth-shattering.

Soon, he teleported away from the city wall.

In the next moment, after two consecutive teleports, he was back at the Lord’s mansion.

A fifth-level [Teleport] that allowed him to teleport five hundred meters at a time.

It was a terrifying number.

At first, even Waldo himself was startled.

Back at the Lord’s mansion, Alanna and Helen approached.

They had also heard the cheers from outside and knew about the good news of the Snow Beasts retreating.

The two girls happily and anxiously confirmed this fact with Waldo once again.

Waldo nodded and said, "The Snow Beasts have really retreated, including the Snow Beast King. They are far away, into the endless snowy plains. Perhaps, no one will ever find its location."

"Really gone! That’s great! Our crisis is resolved. It hasn’t been easy!"

"Yeah, these days, Snow Beasts kept rushing the city walls and massacring people. I couldn’t even save them in time, and they died. Although I used my abilities to save people continuously, in the end, hundreds of people died."

Helen and Alanna were somewhat joyful but also melancholic.

Seeing this, Waldo smiled.

Looking ahead, the Snow Beasts retreating is ultimately good news. There won’t be such dangers in the future, and everyone can finally have a period of stable life without worrying about survival. This is a good thing.

Waldo continued to smile and said, "Why do you both look like something sad happened?"

The two girls glared at him but didn’t say anything.

Soon, it got dark.

Perhaps these days were too busy, and Waldo and the two girls had been repressed for too long.

They didn’t finally fall asleep until very late.

When they woke up the next day, they discovered that huge changes had taken place all around the world the previous night. Waldo got out of bed feeling refreshed.

At this moment, Calvert came over with a report.

The latest intelligence: The Snow Beasts outside more than a hundred cities worldwide all left yesterday night and disappeared without a trace. No one knows where these Snow Beasts went.

"All the Snow Beasts in the world have retreated?" Waldo nodded.

It was just as he had expected.

There should only be one Snow Beast King in the world of Snow Beasts, and they all were under the control of one Snow Beast King. After the Snow Beast King at Dawn City suffered a defeat and left, the Snow Beasts in other places naturally followed suit and left. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Waldo had guessed these circumstances before. Now, his guess had been confirmed.

Next, Waldo asked, "Is there any other news?"

Calvert replied, "According to the investigation, over the past few days, more than twenty cities were breached during the Snow Beasts’ attacks. Unfortunately, all those people perished. However, the majority of the cities held their ground."

"While they suffered some damage, it was within manageable limits. In the final few days, the Snow Beast King was on the verge of a rampage. Therefore, all the Snow Beasts were extremely aggressive during the last few days of the siege, attacking the cities with reckless abandon. As a result, quite a few cities didn’t hold out till the end, and almost all the survivors in the entire city were massacred."

In this war, the Snow Beasts suffered heavy losses. However, similarly, the losses of the human survivors were also quite severe.

But the good news was that the Snow Beast tide had finally receded. Moreover, it was said that the Snow Beasts had completely withdrawn from areas with human activity.

At this moment, Calvert was somewhat puzzled and said, "It is said that someone originally intended to go in the direction where these Snow Beasts finally withdrew. However, they found that the Snow Beasts left no trace at all, and they have no idea where they went. Lord, what do you think? Where do you think they went?"

Waldo shook his head, not saying anything. How would he know?

Just at this moment, his expression changed slightly because he suddenly received a message from the system.

"[Survivor Waldo, fifteen days later, the Snow Beast King will appear once again on the ice plains outside Dawn City. This will be the only opportunity to reach level one hundred. Please go to the ice plains and hunt down the Snow Beast King!]"

"Hunt down the Snow Beast King?" Waldo’s expression changed instantly. This was a quite significant piece of news. Especially when he read the sentence at the end, Waldo was directly stunned.

"The only opportunity to reach level one hundred? Indeed! The Snow Beast King is the opportunity to reach level one hundred!"

Waldo was extremely excited. Previously, he had only speculated, but this time, he received confirmation from the system. He would be upset if he wasn’t excited.
